Today started off pretty stressful, but ended up great! We decided we all needed a day out together as a family and Calloway Gardens is free for January and February so we decided to take advantage of it.
It was beautiful with so much to do! Hiking trails, birds of prey, old pioneer cabins with pioneer furniture inside, a butterfly sanctuary (Israel's favorite), and so much more!
After the Gardens, we took the kids to McDonalds and we RARELY go out to eat so that was a special treat for them. While there, a cute little two year old African-American boy attached himself to Eden and took her every where. It was so cute!

Then we came home and Ben lit a fire in our fire pit out back and we roasted sausage and marshmallows with a neighbor, Sarah. We really enjoyed it. The kids were so disappointed to end the day and have to go to bed. These are the types of things I plan on doing when Ben leaves on deployment again to keep our minds off of it. I love making memories like these! So simple, yet so wonderful!
